[SOLVED]I cannot install windows 7 RC

Hi all you guyz!

Now I've tried to install windows 7 RC (7100.0.090421-1700) on my acer aspire 5920G for the last 4 days, i have tried burning cd, making bootable usb drive, installing ALL new drivers (provided by acer), flashed BIOS and manually offered every single driver my laptop uses but still no luck!:shock:

The error I get occurs when I have done this {

1. Inserted DVD/USB
2. Booted from the one inserted
3. Chosen language
4. Clicked install
​

};

The error message is this:

A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. 
If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

Very, very interesting! I booted from the DVD drive and I get this message, it must have been driven by magic when it first booted up. I get the same message even if I boot from the USB drive.

You might be interested in my current boot settings - Vista x32 Home premium, Vista x64 Ultimate (Unactivated, expired) and Ubuntu(on the buffalo external).

Do any one of you have a solution (trust me, I have searched the whole internet for a solution)

ADB

Internal or external dvd? where did you get the ISO?, what speed did you burn it at?

Internal - Acer aspire 5920 default, HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N
version: WP03

Iso right from microsoft.com

Speed? Auto.

Moi Akke ja tervetuloa foorumille!

Sähän voisit kokeilla asentaa sen kovalevyltä. Jos ymmärsin oikein sulla on siinä koneessa jo käyttis asennettuna. Pura se ISO WinRAR:illa tai vastaavalla kovalevylle (ei tietenkään sihen partitioon mihin aiot sen asentaa!), ja käynnistä asennus manuaalisesti (setup.exe). Toimii!



Sorry, geeks, I couldn`t resist an opportunity to use my beloved Finnish, living here I can not use it so often.

I told him here above to try installing it from HD; first extract ISO to HD and start setup manually from there.

Ihanaa että on olemassa suomalaisia tässä foorumissa, maailma on pieni!

Ok siis jos ymmärsin oikein niin minun ei tarvitse bootata kovalevyltä? Voin vaan asentaa sen suoraan windowsin alla? kokeillaan!
------------------------------

Just told him that I'm greatful that there exist finlanders on this forum others than me!

And then I asked if I can install it directly under windows? Gonna give it shot!

 

[Kari]

Tell us how it went

 

[AkkeDaBest]

I only have 1 windows OS working right now and the one is 32bit seems that it doesn't like 64 bit apps :sarc:... No luck

 

[Kari]

You are not alone with this problem. Could you try this?

Kari

 

[AkkeDaBest]

I'll try

 

[AkkeDaBest]

Gotta burn the Vista 64 disc again

 

[SIW2]

If you are going to use the Vista dvd as in that link, try using the command line to run setup .exe inside the Sources folder on the 7 install media.

I assume you already looked in Bios and changed the disk controller from AHCI to ATA ?

Also worth unplugging any external drives.

Hope it helps.

1. First thing I recommend is FORMAT the Partition where the Vista x64 is.
2. leave the external HDD out.
3. If your DVD is sata. you will have to use F6 and install a Driver for the SATA DVD if your booting from a Bootable Win7 DVD.
4. If you want to upgrade Vista then insert the DVD after your booted to Vista and then upgrade or chose custom and install Win7 on a different partition. (called Dual Boot).

The error message is this:

Code:
A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

MANY SYSTEMS DO NOT HAVE SATA DRIVERS, if your using a NEW DVD for Win 7.
ADD THE REQUIRED DRIVERS to USB drive or Floppy Drive or CD. and when ask click Add Drivers.

I have installed the lastest SATA drivers, chipset etc. In BIOS i have changed AHCI to IDE (NO ATA EXISTS) and, I have tried to supply the driver at when it lets me browse for the missing driver and it just wont eat it.

Burning WinVista 64 on my dvd-rw...

I would not recommend AHCI to IDE. My Acer does not like that.
I have it set to AHCI (NO RAID).

 

[SIW2]

Keep us posted Akke.

 

[AkkeDaBest]

Well, I tried once, when it didn't work -> back to AHCI
